The Long and Winding Road

August 3, 2009

Hey Gang!

I do apologize but it has been one heck of a Roller coaster Ride the last few weeks! I was asked recently how does one do it?
How does one get up seven days a week at 5 in the am??? Well I did it for the last 4 months, and it has brought amazing results. In creating a discipline work structure, where you simply prioritize what needs to be done for the day! Heck I am usually done with my office work before most are rolling out of bed or still sitting in some traffic jam on their way to a JOB, (Just Over Broke), that they do not even like!

I have tightened my belt one more notch and for the past two weeks have been getting up way before the rooster crows, 4 AM!

It has enabled me to make even more progress, as well as allowing me a litttle more time for my nutrition, exercising and personal development!

I know this is not for everyone, but it has worked, and I am having the time of my life. So if you are ready to leave your Comfort Zone, take a 30 Day challenge and join me on this long and winding road! I promise it is a ride that will change your life Forever!

Pictures Paint a Thousand Words

May 18, 2009

The next time you receive your paycheck I want you to hold in it your hands, and then hold it under the light. Rub the numbers on it and think to yourself, is this what I am worth. Is this the reason I get up every morning, drive in the morning traffic. Or wait for the bus, then the train and sit with all the others who are also on their way to work. Is this what I am worth. Trading my time for money.

Close your eyes and then imagine yourself on a beach, the sun is setting, and you hear the waves rolling in and out, you smell the fresh salt water in the air. You even feel the mist of the ocean on your face. In the distance you hear softly playing guitars and the laughter of people starting to mingle on the happy hour bar. As you walk back to your hotel room and open the door you see your laptop on the desk. Your inbox is blinking so you open it, you read how one of your partners just enrolled a football team of 69 players, coaches and trainers, the commissions you have just made, while laying on the beach, are more than what you use to earn working at your JOB an entire month. You quickly shower and think to yourself is this what I am worth? Yes, the seeds you sow today determine the harvest you will have tomorrow. Now wake up and go back to your 9 to 5, but will it ever be the same?

Gale Connell Don’t just dream it. Do it! ~ Gale Connell

If today were my last day on Earth and I could share 500 words of brilliance with the world, here are the important things I’d want to pass along to others…

Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

One of the most common documented deathbed regrets is that the soon to be deceased wishes they had taken more risks. They aren’t talking about bungee jumping, but rather the dreams that they carried inside for a lifetime that they will never see realized.

There are hundreds of reasons that people pass on their dreams, and they all seem perfectly logical.

Take the American Dream for example: get an education, find a steady job, buy a house, have a family, build a nice retirement fund and then relax until you die. Aside from the fact that the American Dream no longer resembles that model, the folks who followed it achieved most of the perks but remained personally unfulfilled. Having shelved their heart’s desire in pursuit of “security” they spend their waning days dreaming of what might have been.

All that sought-after safety and security was a compelling illusion that lured millions of baby-boomers away from their burning desires. Fortunately, dreams are persistent, because they are the seeds of our greatness.

When asked, most people will tell you that they have had basically the same dream all of their life. It’s something they contemplate, fantasize about and spend much pleasurable time engaged with. Yet they never act upon it. They just can’t seem to muster the necessary resources and encouragement to take the first step toward their passion.

Isn’t Quality Important?

May 14, 2009

I have a good friend who is 73 years old. This gentleman’s story would make for an excellent blog, book, and probably a fantastic film for the silver screen. Last summer he was hit by a car and they wanted to amputate his leg, it had been splintered by the impact, Rudi said no! The doctors talked about not wasting their time and just cutting it off, luckily he was conscious and very present, and proceed to explain to the surgeons if they did that he would slam them with a law suit! Can you imagine if he was not awake and they just did what they wanted? Well, it has been almost a year of excruciating pain and healing, he can walk and he has a little limp, but he still has his leg. And on top of this whole situation, he is the most generous and caring person I have ever met. He still has a humour that can’t be beaten!

Even though he is retired, and probably worked enough jobs in his life for three people, he is building a small business, selling fresh fish from a local fish farm here in Switzerland. What is amazing is that this fish farm produces their fish naturally without all of the antibiotics and chemicals that large fisheries use, so the end result is an excellent tasting and completely chemical free fish.

I had the chance to take him to a few restaurants to sell his fish. He has always given the owners a few samples to try and then they begin to discuss the costs. Everyone wants to try his fish and then after they have, they begin bargaining for the price. His margin of profit is small, because he does not do this for the money, but rather wants to provide people the chance of having a chemical free product. And enjoys the activity of meeting new people and helping them when he can. Recently we stopped in at a restaurant to see if the were interested in ordering.

Here is where I choked and literally was speechless. The owner of a good restaurant said that Rudi’s fish costs twice as much as the fish he was using. When Rudi explained to him, sure it may be double but the quality is better, no poison, and it is fresh, not like the frozen fish this cook gets from Vietnam. And the cook proceed to explain that people are only interested in the price, they do not really care if it is good quality or not and that the fish is pumped full of chemicals, who cares, the price is what matters! I was shocked! If the customers of this restaurant knew what the owner thought and said, I can imagine his establishment would be empty in the blink of an eye. This restaurant is packed almost day for day with people who love his meals, but have no idea what he is feeding them.

This is just one restaurant, but they are not the only ones, apparently Rüdi has faced this problem before and through this he would rather sell his fish to private individuals who are not only happy for the quality but are thankful for the service and freshness he delivers.

In today’s economy everyone must be aware of the original idea of creating a business is not just to make money, but to offer the clients a good product and service, and of course to generate profits, but when it sacrifices the health of its customers, where is the real profit, and what is that profit worth?

How to Eliminate Time Wasters!

May 12, 2009

I am presently reading a book from Timothy Ferris, the title is “The 4-Hour Workweek.” Aside from just downright genius, this book is exploding the 9 to 5 system fairy tale. I am in no way taking credit for this information, Tim has provided us with, I merely feel it is urgent to get this information to as many people as possible, so that it can be implemented, when the shoe fits wear it.
I highly recommend picking up a copy of this book today, and reading it, it will change your life.

The topic I want to address today is how to stop time wasters. There are hundreds when not thousands of little tasks each and everyone of us perform daily that require enormous time. It may seem like a few minutes, but added together over the course of a week, month, or year, these tasks drain the productivity out of us daily.

Here is a simple, but highly effective, way to gain back time lost on just one of those tasks, E-mail. Most people at the start of the day, turn on their computer, and begin to read their emails, those with large volumes may even wait until all trickle in, but nonetheless, the first task of the day is to read and answer any and all e-mails one has received over the course of the evening.

Tim says, “Time wasters are the easiest to eliminate and deflect. It is a matter of limiting access and funneling all communication toward immediate action. First, limit e-mail consumption and production. this is the greatest single interruption in the modern world.”

For the details please consult his book, while it is an excellent reference. But too make it simple there are two steps one must make. Number one turn off the audible alert on your computer when e-mails arrive, this will help you to stay on target with whatever task you are presently working on without the annoying tone as well as a short description that pops up on your screen, a definite concentration killer!

Second read and respond to your e-mails twice a day, for example 12 and 4pm. You can do this right before the lunch break and then shortly before most offices prepare to close. This allows all  e-mail you have sent adequate time to be answered. And also create an auto responder for your email, so that everyone who sends you an e-mail is notified that you read and answer e-mails in the times you designate. This may take some time for all to be aware and accustomed to your routine, but it is a powerful move in  allowing you time to focus on your priorities and objectives, and this naturally increases your productivity.

He goes even further to suggest putting all office phones on voice mail, with a similar routine for returning calls. He informs callers with his message that they should e-mail their requests when possible, thus reducing amount of time one spends on the telephone with unproductive discussions. When a return telephone call is required he informs the caller when he will be available to make that call.

When you implement nothing else from this book, this one task is worth it’s weight in gold! Tomorrow I will share the messages one can create for the email autoresponder and voice mail message.

Keep the Fire Burning!

All Aboard!

May 11, 2009

Today we begin to make something Fantastic happen! I will be posting a new article about life, our experiences with life, and all the amazing things we encounter in this remarkable journey we call life. I am asking all who take the time to read this blog to also please take the time to share your thoughts. Together we can make miracles happen. United we stand, divided we fall.

When people ask me, “how are you today?” I always answer with, “It’s another day in paradise!”
Most laugh and question what I am on that makes me so happy, and to even think such a thing you must be either crazy or intoxicated. But I have to say through my response I tend to wake people up. Instead of hearing the usual response, I am fine and yourself, or something along those lines, they actually think for just a moment what is their own paradise or vision of paradise, and if only for a short moment, they seem to forget about the day to day pressures that one faces in life.

Regardless of how my day is going, good, bad or indifferent, I always give the same reply. This not only helps others to lighten up, it also helps me to keep a positive outlook on my own mission in life. I once met a gentlemen who dared me to say an affirmation for ninety days. I took that dare and it has changed my life. That was over six years ago, and I still fall back on it from time to time. Here is the affirmation I say, and feel free to use it as well. Please do not misunderstand me, affirmations are excellent tools one may use, but in order to profit from them entirely, one must be willing to set them into action as well. Saying them is good, doing them is better. Actions always speak louder than words!

Here she is:

I am uplifted by life and it’s wonderful gifts, everyday I am uplifted more and more.
Everyday I receive and give away more gifts than ever before.
My whole life is a gift I give to others.
The gift of love and joy, goodness and kindness.
The gift of peace and hope and goodwill toward everyone.
This my gift to the world and to myself,
and no matter what is happening in my life,
I celebrate it grandly.

So let’s join together and create paradise here on earth, it is never to late to get a fresh start, and who knows it just might make all the difference in the world.

The Nastiest Word in the English Vocabulary

May 6, 2009

I just talked with a friend and could not believe my ears. He must of used this word 4 times in the course of our conversation, and all I can do is cringe!

You are wondering what this word is, well I am going to tell you.
It is the word can’t! He can’t do something. When you say this to yourself long enough your mind and spirit gets the message and follows. And then the task at hand or challenge, not problem, can surely not be met. The word can’t is made up of two words can and not. Instead of asking yourself when a challenge arises why, why not try to replace that why with what. What are my options, what do I choose to do, or do I need to even bother myself with this?

We are constantly confronted with choices from the moment we awake until we finally lay down at the end of the day. The mind is amazing and one’s focus tends to be on hurdles, Problems, and things that have a negative influence on our thoughts and actions.

Regardless of your position in life it would be much easier to entertain your highest ambitions and cultivate your dreams. There are literally hundreds when not thousands of books on this topic and it drives me crazy. To think what the human mind has been capable of creating not just in the past, but in everyday life today, right now, how can we insult our intelligence with such trivial and destructive thinking.

The amount of energy it takes is just plain silly to waste on making yourself feel miserable, and in the end you really have no creative energy left to change the situation. I would say from Heart Attacks, to ulcers and the whole spectrum of stress related dis eases can be directly linked to the software one has programmed in the hard drive of our minds. Pressure or stress is normal and can even be healthy when properly channeled into solutions. There is a reason the Good Lord gave us this capacity. The mind is a terrible thing to waste and even worse is letting negative thoughts run rampant until one is sick or sick and tired. Sometimes things push us over the edge, and it is up to us to decide can we live with this, can we change something that enables us to live with this, or do we even care to bother?

I am not saying everyone should just think positive and everything will be much better. But I am really sad that so many allow themselves to be weighed down by things that either have no direct effect on their lives or they could possibly be the one’s to find a solution for this and are so busy ranting and raving, they do not take the time to ask themselves, What can be Done!

A lot of people ask how are you, or how are you doing, and then before you can even reply they begin to go on about some nonsense and do not even hear your reply. The average reply to this question we often hear when we greet each other, How are You? Is Fine thank you and yourself? Why do people even ask this if they are not in the least bit concerned how you are or how you are doing? It is ridiculous and I guess it is time we really start to ask ourselves this question and then answer ourselves honestly.

Life is too short to waste one precious minute worrying over something, when challenges arrive, take inventory and take action.

The serenity prayer always comes to mind when I am confronted with these gold nuggets of life. And if we could all start to think instead of babble, feel instead of react, and listen instead of talk, we just might become the highest form of intelligence on this planet. Start today to be who you really are and not what others expect from you. We all have a God given talent that is just waiting to be set free and until we stop acting like robots, this divine gift will continue to go unnoticed.

Find your Passion, Set the Fire! Keep the Fire Burning and share this with as many souls as you humanly can. First then will we live to see Heaven here on Earth!

Words of Wisdom

May 4, 2009

Well. it has been awhile since I last had a chance to write, so I figured, now is as good a time as any to catch up, where we last left off.

A couple weeks ago I had the pleasure of going to a seminar from Karl Pilsl. This gentlemen is a business journalist, and has spent almost half of his life living and reasearching  businesses in the United States. He then takes the information he has gathered and applies it to helping people  in reaching their goals.  He takes the role of being someone who speaks to your heart and not a motivational preacher. He also says he is here to tell you what you need to know, not what you want to hear! I had the pleasure of meeting Karl, and his wife Monika, last October in St. Gallen for the first time. This man is 61 years old and says he is at  the halftime stage in his life! Not only does he have an incredible talent for researching, he also has a divine wisdom of conveying the information to normal every day people. The power and drive which he has is rarely seen in most people, let alone at this age. He is highly motivating and extremely attractive,  using  short stories and solid fundamental thinking, he is capable of waking even the biggest sleeping giant within!

There are numerous stories he delivers to get the point across, and while  everything is in German, I have decided to take the time and translate, as best I can, what this gentlemen has taught me. Not only does Karl deliver a remarkable message, but he is actively promoting his courses and informative cds. Karl even takes the time to send a weekly newsletter to anyone interested in improving their situation in life!

This week he has reminded us to think of a stamp, a stamp does not give up until it has completed it’s mission, getting the letter to it’s recipient. It doesn’t say well, I have done this for awhile and gotten no results, so I will jump off this letter and look for something better, no it stays until the job is done. Unfortunately, people do not usually exercise this vital character quality. We all have our calling in life, no matter how large or how small, it is our mission, what we came here to do, it is so easy, just be yourself! No one can do a better job at this than you.  Most people will never reach their full potential while they simply give up too easy. Everyone is looking for a quick fix, and when it doesn’t happen right away they give up and start something new. They overestimate what results they may have in the short term, and underestimate what results they could have reached in the long term, if they didn’t give up so easily.

He goes on to explain that the greatest success stories known to mankind, were always accomplished by visionary people, who not only were in it for the long term, but had a determination that enabled all of their innate powers to overcome all hurdles they possibly could have or did encounter along the journey.

Today there  is no scarcity on the number of business opurtunities available, no limits on the options one has to earn money. But what is rare and becoming almost extinct is the will power and determination to stick with your project/business  long enough to harvest the fruits of your labours. He asks everyone to think long and hard about what you want to do with your life. What burns in your heart? What are  your passions? Make a decision and stick to your guns! With the fire in your heart coupled with determined action every individual will reach his or her goals!

Network Marketing Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow

April 21, 2009

With all the news lately about traditional business being literally wiped of the face of the earth, in one form or another, the time has never been better for starting your own home business.

The old saying used to be that Network Marketing nets worldwide more than the automobile industry year for year. Well, what has happenend to the auto industry? And thîs is only the beginning.

Finally people have become aware of the fable that a secure, safe job is better than taking any chances on building your own home based business, and also realize that investing in yourself, is the best investment one can make. The attractivity of MLM is again on the rise. Wether it is simply to have an additional monthly income, some Network Marketing companies pay out as much as five times a month, or if you are seriously looking to replace your day JOB, or you have lost your day JOB, and need to find a new occupation, the reasons go on and on, but the fact that this business is experiencing record growth and always has, especially in times of economic crisis, is no longer possible to ignore.

There is a learning curve like everything else, when one starts something new. But unlike a new job or position in a traditional business, everything one learns in Network Marketing can be applied to everyday life, and most important, no one can take this away from you. The more time and energy invested, the larger your paycheck, and the more time and energy you invest in your partners, downline, the larger your paycheck. Where else in the world can one, through helping others become successful, reach success themselves. In a traditional business managers are afraid to let their employess know everything they know or have learned in fear that one day the employee will take their position. So all information is tightly kept secret and through this a team or business of thousands, are like one man/woman shows paddling their boats all on their own, hoping to one day make it to the top. This is a futile effort, not only does this seldom lead to a promotion in position or salary, to the contrary, we have seen the incredible number of illnesses and other social and health issues that have developed through this mentality.

Have you ever heard of mobbing for example in a network company. Mobbing would be the death of a network marketing company. It is all built and driven through hand in hand Teamwork. One does not grow in status in a network marketing company only to take each and everyone, who is naturally willing, with them to the top. It is a fleet of volunteers who love their company, love their product, but most important are educated in the benefits that this industry has to offer, as well as being 100% committed to themselves, their own personal growth and the privilige of sharing this wealth of information  with each and every team member regardless of their position or how long they have been with the company. We love people, we love helping people and with every soul we nuture and cultivate a self confidence that no one will every take from them. How far they get in the company is totally up to them, there is no pressure or someone standing over you asking if you have read your books, spoken with your prospects, placed your ads, and if they are, then they are not the right upline. A good Sponsor or Mentor, allows each and everyone to develop on their own, provides all materials to accelerate that growth, but the drive and motivation has to be coming from the heart of the new partner. When someone is willing to learn and invest time in themselves and be patient with the learning curve, does not give up, everyone succeeds.

This whole discussion that 95% of all network marketers fail is just hogwash. All people in every occupation suffer from the exact same business mortality rate. Why is it that 95% of all the people are either dead or dead broke at the age of 65? And this statistic is for everyone not just network marketers but for everone!!! People get over it already, you are lazy, worn down and just sick and tired of the old way of life, but as soon as someone offers you a Chance, you shrivel up and cry, I can’t do that? Please,  they are two types of people in the world today, very simply put, there are the Winners and there are the Whiners, which group do you belong to?

People quit, that is what they do, they quit their education, drop out of high school, quit their jobs, quit their relationships, divorce. Quit playing the sports they used to play, quit reading, quit listening, quit learning. We are slowly a nation of quitters, waiting for someone else to solve the problem. Well this is never going to happen. There is no free ride, no free lunch and the party is either over or you can wake up and join the party, it is never too late.

All new prospects or candidates I speak to are so concened about the risks they may encounter if they choose to step up and start a network marketing company. Let me tell you all who has the most risk, it is your sponsor, the one who takes the time to show you a new way,and cares enough about you to share their oppurtunity with you! They also shares endless hours, days, weeks, months and even years investing in helping you get ahead in this business, only to watch you Quit! Who has lost more then? You who try, attempt, all fired up in the beginning and with the first hurdle decide not to jump, or the people who have invested their time, energy, and guidance? I am sorry to be blunt but through my short experince in this business I have learned to be very selective. My time, knowledge and energy is way more important to me than to waste it on someone who is anyway just looking for an easy ride, or get rich quick scam. This business takes years to learn, years to evolve and then one can enjoy a lifetime of success. It is not something within the first few weeks or months or even years that one can expect this promised financial independence. And anyone who thinks in this manner should not even bother, you are only wasting the time of those who cared enough about you to show you a new way. Let me ask you something how long did it take you to walk, 1 or 2 years? How long did it take you to learn to speak? And then how long did it take you to connect words together and actually make a sentence? How long did most of you go to Kindergarten? How long did you attend Elementary School? Normally you are between 11 and 12 years old and you are just ready to start juniour high. You have a whole 6 years ahead of you before you even have a chance at a high school diploma, and then when you’re lucky you have four more years of college at least. with 22 years old, College Graduate, looking for a job!!!

This is reality, we have all succeeded to many of these levels and did not think twice about it. Even people who drop out of high school know they need to go to a vocational school, learn a trade, spend at least 2 to 3 years, and then they can begin to look for a job.

People are we crazy or what? Why do we invest so much time in things we were told we had to do, or in the case of college wanted to do, and ok maybe we complained a little but we got the job done.  And I am talking about decades of time invested, and we have to think it over when we are offered an oppurtunity in network marketing? On the average a new networker invests 3 to 5 years, working, learning and sharing and then they will see the fruits of their labours. We say that a new partner is really first committed after they stick it out the first year, then after the first year it becomes evident what htis partner is willing to invest in time and effort to make this(their) business grow. Dude, it is like a one year probation time before you are even taken serious, and then once you have made it, just one YEAR!!! Then you can start to rock and roll. What is a year or two or for that matter 5 or 6 in comparison to what we have already invested in time to get where are are or are not today? In 3 to 5 years you are going to be three to five years older, wether you do this or not. And believe me the Worl of Network Marketing is gonna does this with or without you. It has a proven track record and is on the rise in almost every business segment. So think it over settle for what you have and spend a lifetime complaining about it, or get up off your butts and do soemthing, it will be the most exciting, interesting ride of your life, and it is changing and developing with each and every day. I have never had more fun, it has not been easy and I am a far cry from where I am going, but I know I have chosen the right path. Like Robert Frost once said, I have chosen the road less travelled and that has made all of the difference.

One last note, please if you are not serious and ready to make a long term  commitment to this industry do not bother wasting anyone elses time. It is not fair to yourself or to those who offer you a chance to change. Work your 9 to 5, go on your vacation, max your credit cards and hope that you might get a raise, because other than winning in the lottery you will never have financial independece, and that is why 95 % follow the trodden path of working a lifetime, only to retire at 65 and have nothing to show for it, outside of a worn out physical condition and a bitter attitude about the world in general. And is your retirement money even going to be there when you retire, are you sure? I for one am not gonna wait till then to live. I give it my best shot day for day, love what I do and the people I meet and my life is richer for this experience, sure I am not a million dollar earner yet, but I will be, and reaching the peak of a mountain may be the goal, but the reward is  the journey one encounters along  the way. Follow your heart and do what is right for you and always keep in mind that whatever you do should always be in the best interest for all parties concerned.

Good Luck and I Look forward to seeing you on the Journey to the  Top!

OK It is Not Easy but it is Worth Every Minute!

April 17, 2009

Hi Gang,
Sorry I have not been able to post for awhile, rather hectic times, with so many projects that have required my attention:)

Finally have a little time to touch base.

Today I would like to share with you all the one thing, one requires to master, regardless of occupation, and that is to create an excitement about what excites you. Some call it Passion, other’s their calling. What you name it really isn’t as important as the act itself.

We are all proud of who we are and if not then take the time to list the things you have accomplished in your life, and I mean all the things, simple little things, things we sometimes take for granted, but none the less accomplishments we have made. Then sit back and realize you have a lot to be proud about. We cannot change what we did yesterday, last year or even decades ago, but we can change this moment. What you do right now, is like that stone in the pond, it sends out ripples. And when it is positive, it creates positive things. The opposite is exactly the same. Isn’t it a little crazy to keep doing the same things over and over again, and expect that the results are going to change?

Take one small step, something you really want to do, or have been thinking about lately, and just haven’t got around to doing it,
and do it for yourself right now. If it is something larger than list the steps needed to be taken in order to acheive that desire, and take one step in that direction. Trust me this works. Once you have created momentum the universe reciprocates. It is like playing ping pong, we only have to hit the ball, take the step. The next action is to see where the return ball is coming and decide hit again, let it go out, or adjust, tweek, whatever you want to call it, this is our free will and human nature all in one.

This game we call life was meant to be fun, and if it isn’t then it is time to stop,  not game over just Restart, like booting your computer, and play what you came here to do. In today’s turbo hustle and bustle, one can easily be sidetracked, get off course, but with a dream, a desire, a goal, all it takes is constant focus. Focus on your feelings, listen to the words and focus on your feelings, take a step, focus on your feelings, you will feel if it works, lifts you up, uplifting! or the opposite, presses you down, depressing, and then only you can choose to incorporate that into your life, or just let it be! We tend to get weighed down with the heavies in Life and loose touch with the Light, the lighter fun things! So children of the world,play with this and keep an open mind and an open heart. Life is way to short to Waste, one minute, not to mention a day, Year, Decade or a Lifetime being miserable.

Most of my appointments start always in the early afternoon, so everyone thinks I sleep until 11 and then get up and do my thing. Well, I have to tell you after reading a few biographies of some of the most influential people this world has ever seen, I have found a few traits to be a common thread. Many love to wake up before the competition. Get a head start on the day. Now this is not for everyone, but I thought to myself, why not give it a try. So here is what I did, about three weeks ago I decided to set my alarm for 5am. Crazy huh? Thought so myself, I rather liked waking up when I wanted, after working into the evening, or reading and researching one needs 8 hours of sleep. Well I must say within 1 week I started waking up before my alarm, first 5 minutes, then 10 and so on.

I have began to love this time, sometimes I am wide awake a 430 and just have to get up and greet the day! Now this is not about me it is just an example of how changing one little detail in your life can make a world of difference.

These early bird hours, we all know the early bird gets the worm, LOL!, are so precious to me. And it is almost like every morning is Christmas as a child, and I cannot wait to get up and do my thing, totally crazy. But, through this experiment, I have created a new habit and this new habit has allowed me to focus, expand and invest new energies, that I would say have been dormant in me for a long, long time. What used to take me almost the entire morning, ok 8 to 12, is now normally finished before 8 am in the morning, this has given me an additional 4 hours per day to invest in that which my heart feels is the priority for the Day. No, I do not go to bed at 8pm or even 9 but I have played with this and seen the results it has made, and this is just one little technique of literally thousands when not more, that we as an intelligent species living on this planet can choose to exercise. When we all do what we love and we respect the right for everyone else to do the same, wouldn’t our world be different. I guess we really can create Heaven here on Earth, it is only the question, Are You Ready?

What excites you? Not what you think people want to hear or see or read but really what do you want? You see I watched Ashton Kutcher today getting the Twitter world excited about http://www.malarianomore.com and being the first to hit one million followers. Wow, that was exciting, and now? All these people got excited got involved and hopefully will follow up on this great project that could end needless deaths of children. Isn’t that amazing? But my point here is Someone had an idea they got excited about shared it with others and the excitement grew, literally right before your eyes. We all have this power, you do not need to be a movie star, rock star, athlete, etc… to create excitement. Ok for us down to earth folk it may sound crazy, but this is it! Create a Buzz, that is from your heart, study, research and develop your information around that Buzz, and then send it out into the world. With today’s technology, Toyota’s  slogan fits to a T!

So where is the excitement? What are you excited About? And what do you plan, or wish to see happen because of this? With these few questions, honestly, dig deep if you have to, but with these few questions and their ever important answers you can change the World. Not in Years or Decades like earlier times, but literally in minutes, seconds, and even milliseconds. If that is not something to get excited about, then I don’t know what is? So I include myself in this when I say Let’s get off our Buts and Make It Happen.

Do what you love and the rest will follow, it is nature’s natural course, why do we attempt to alter this in any way? Perfection is just that Perfection, with all it’s Flaws we are all Perfect! So don’t you think it is time to Do Something? Like Just Be Yourself? Here’s to all those brave souls out there Just being themselves and having a blast doing it!
